Chapter 794: Emperor's decree
Chapter 794 Emperor's Special Order
Liuqiu Island, Anping County.
Luermen Haikou.
Qin Lang led all the officials to welcome the court angel who entered the island.
Old Cheng looked at the imperial ship coming along the tide and guided by the naval speedboat, "This imperial court is really troublesome."
"It's not a bad thing either." Qin Lang said.
In the spring of the seventh year of Zhenguan, the emperor made a decree in Chang'an to select the descendants of the descendants from the clan for the deceased King Li Kuan of Chu Ai, King Li Xiao of Jiang Shang, and King Li Jian of Dai Xiao, and inherit the titles of King Yue, King Jiang, and King Min.
Because of their young age, the three kings were temporarily brought up in the palace, and bestowed on Liuqiu, so that the officials of the three kings went to the fiefdom to manage, and when the three kings became adults, they became the kingdom of vassals.
Emperor analyzed Liuqiuzhou as Liuqiu, Anping, and Chiayi. The king of Yue sealed Liuqiu, the king of Jiang sealed Chiayi, and the king of Min sealed Anping.
One Liuqiu island was divided into three parts, and three vassal kings were sealed at once.
When Qin Lang received the news, he was quite surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that it had little effect on him.
Anyway, he never came to think about it, to monopolize Liuqiu Island and develop it into his own private territory. This is impossible and unrealistic, and the court will not allow it.
After King Wei was eaten by a shark, he once had the idea of swallowing King Wei's men, but he dismissed it immediately after just thinking about it.
Now the emperor suddenly finds the three sons who died prematurely to be adopted by the clan, and all of them are enshrined in Liuqiu. Presumably it is just that the emperor discovered the importance of Liuqiu Island.
As for why three were sealed instead of only one as before, it is probably because the island is very big and rich, so they directly brought three vassal kings here to avoid the future dominance of one family and facilitate the separation of powers and checks and balances.
This also reflects Li Shimin's style.
Hainan Island has always had several states, so it is not surprising that Liuqiu now has three states. The more the court is like this, the more it shows that the court has really begun to pay attention to Liuqiu Island, and it will develop it on a large scale next.
Sure enough, when the imperial envoy's ship arrived at Anping City, Qin Lang also knew the emperor's plan.
3,000 Turkic families, 3,000 Dangxiang households, and thousands of Jihu, Xiqi and other miscellaneous Hu and criminal households. A total of 10,000 households moved in, but they had to move in batches.
"Duke Wei, Duke Zhou, governor of Guangzhou, suddenly died of illness in office. The sage ordered Duke Wei to go to Guangzhou immediately."
Zhou Shaofan is a good person. Qin Lang had a lot of dealings with him last year. Although it was through his son Xiao Zhou, the two cooperated tacitly.
Unexpectedly, Lao Zhou suddenly died of illness in Guangzhou.
"Duke Wei, could it be an accident, Duke Zhou?" the angel asked quietly when no one was around.
"No one should have such courage!" Qin Lang said, he guessed that this was also the emperor's question.
Dang Hongren was defeated in Guangzhou before, and was brought down by Feng An and other local kings. Now Zhou Shaofan has just taken office for one year and died again.
This had to make the emperor suspicious.
"Before our family came out, Zhaijia asked to bring a message to Wei Gong. We must investigate carefully and thoroughly. Even if it is finally found out that this matter has nothing to do with Lingnan, the imperial court should indeed rectify Lingnan. Feng Chenning When some earth kings act so recklessly, they really think they are earth emperors."
Qin Lang was neither surprised nor surprised.
Due to historical reasons, Lingnan has always been relatively independent, and the situation in Fujian is slightly better. The Central Plains have always had stronger control over Guilin and Guangzhou. Other places are the territory of the local kings, and the mountains are even more powerful scope.
Lingnan used to rebel at every turn, and the tax was not collected at all, and the imperial court had no troops stationed there.
Since Tang Zhenguan, this situation has been changing rapidly. Although there were several rebellions, they were all quickly put down by the court, and the fact that each time the rebellion was put down is also worth pondering.
Unstable factors still exist, and the root cause is profit.
None of the local kings are handsome and willing to give up their rights and interests easily. They are neither willing to register as a household, nor are they willing to pay taxes and serve in the service. The status is gone.
Ning Changzhen, Feng Xuan and others represented Lingnan's uncompromising forces, and they were straightforward. However, after a few times, the compromising barbarian kings like Feng An and Chen Longshu gained the upper hand.
They dare not be tough and choose to surrender, but they also have a bottom line. When their bottom line is broken, they start to obey others, and even make small moves.
Dang Renhong was dismounted by Feng An, and now that Zhou Shaofan died of illness, Li Shimin began to doubt. Even if there is no evidence, Li Shimin is already very dissatisfied with the situation in Lingnan.
Could it be that Lingnan has really become a place outside the law, where imperial needles cannot be inserted and water cannot be splashed?
Taking this as an opportunity, Li Shimin has already planned to rectify Xia Lingnan.
"Mr. Wei accepts the order!"
Emperor ordered Qin Lang to be the appeasement envoy of the Sanguang economic strategy in the south of Lingnan, as well as the observation and disposal envoy of Guangdong Road, the governor of Guangzhou, the governor of Guangzhou, and the inspector of the southeast of the province.
The emperor gave Qin Lang the sharpest sword, and the entire Lingnan Three Paths were under his temporary jurisdiction.
San-Guang Economic Strategy Appeasement Envoy, Guangdong Observation and Disposition Envoy, Guangzhou Metropolitan Governor, Guangzhou Inspector, Southeast Customs Envoy, plus the title of Governor of the Navy, and the title of Prime Minister of Pingzhang Political Affairs.
There are also double banners and double festivals, which are specially designed to inherit the system of worship.
Now that Qin Lang is in the southeast, officials from the governor to the county magistrate can decide to be promoted or dismissed with a single word, and they can even be killed first and then played.
For an earth king like Feng An, Qin Lang has the right to act cheaply.
The emperor gave him enough power to let Qin Lang, the most troublesome son-in-law, have a good time in Lingnan.
"Didn't Feng An just come to Beijing a few years ago, and he hasn't returned to Lingnan yet? I heard that he sang this Yue song in front of the guests at the Chang'an court banquet. The Sacred Heart is very happy." Qin Lang ask.
"Your Majesty specially asked Feng An to stay in Beijing for a longer period of time, so that it would be convenient for Duke Wei to handle affairs in Lingnan. If Duke Wei finds out that Feng An really has disobedience, he will go up together, and His Majesty can prevent him from returning to Lingnan forever."
Qin Lang thought that this was going too far, and Li Shimin couldn't even tolerate Feng An anymore.
Anyway, Feng An is also his in-laws, so the emperor trusts him so much?
"Mr. Wei, the sage said that Liuqiu is doing a good job here. The rest of the work will be taken over by the company. Duke Wei doesn't need to stay in Liuqiu for a long time. Please rush to Guangzhou to take up the post immediately after receiving the order."
······
"Go to Guangzhou?"
"We have just opened up the situation in Liuqiu." Cheng Chumo was not very happy. Recently, it has been a pleasure to grab people to enclose land, and the enthusiasm of the navy is undiminished.
Calculate how much money to save every day, not to mention how happy it is.
The island of Liuqiu is really full of gold and silver. You can rob hundreds of people by breaking up a village, or at least a few thousand people. And there's nothing dangerous about this gangster.
"It's almost the same here, we've already fought, and we have to be pampered next time, anyway, our stall has already been set up, and even if we leave, the income will continue to flow. Besides, let's take this fattest bite After eating all the meat, there must be some bones left for others to chew on."
"You have a lot of places to race horses, and the money you rob is enough."
"When you arrive in Guangzhou, don't think that everything will be fine and you can go to Kuma and release Nanshan. Since the sage called us to go there so urgently, it means that the situation will not be simple. Maybe there will be a big war."
Zhang Daan and others were puzzled.
"Guangzhou? Great war? With whom?"
"We will fight whoever dares to fight against the imperial court. We will give you three days to pack up quickly."
In Anping City, Mrs. Nong was very happy when she heard that she was going to Guangzhou.
"Staying here every day is really boring. I want to leave a long time ago."
Qin Lang smiled and embraced the beauty, "You are willing to leave with such a big profit here?"
"The slave family is reluctant to let Saburo be lonely here alone, otherwise he would have left early."
Years later, more and more ships came to Liuqiu, and each family brought ordinary ships of merchants, slaves, and trilogy, and shipped away shiploads of foreign barbarians and goods.
The eleven county towns in Liuqiu have become the eleven base camps of the Tang Dynasty to control Liuqiu Island. Although they are still very simple, the winter is rainy, and the ground is like a muddy quagmire, but everyone follows the wealth. Come.
Qin Lang stood on the wooden building in the center of the castle, overlooking this crude Anping City, which looked like a temporary camp. It has now been upgraded to Anping Prefecture and became the state city.
The Ministry of Officials has selected a governor to come here, as well as a lot of officials such as Chang Shi, Sima, and Cao Shenjun.
Their arrival means the end of the era of barbarism and disorder here, and the transition from the era of the Qin family to the era of the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
However, Qin Lang has already preemptively encircled enough land here, and the port, wharf and city also occupy prime locations.
Even if he leaves, with these, the fattest piece of meat on Liuqiu Island will always be in Qin Lang's hands, at least for one day, that's how it is.
The big families in the future will definitely compete with each other, and the remaining unconquered flat fans will definitely be conquered one by one. Even the mountain fans in the mountains will not escape the day of being conquered.
Qin Lang opened this treasure box, and no one can close it again.
Li Shimin's courage is great, and the pattern is also great.
Transforming one island into three states, and feudal three kings have already planned the future of Treasure Island. This may be a pattern of two or three hundred years. It will last until the day when the Tang Dynasty perishes, and it may even affect the Treasure Island of the new dynasty in the future. pattern.
Let Liuqiu Island be handed over to the three kings of the clan, on the surface, because the Qin family is the most powerful one in secret anyway.
Three days later.
Qin Lang in purple robe and jade belt boarded the battleship Thunder God Mountain, and the pier was crowded with people who came to see him off. Looking at the happy faces, Qin Lang waved his hands, turned and entered the cabin.
"Damn it, you can't wait for us to leave so soon!"
"I don't even think about it, if there is no Saburo, how can they have this opportunity to get a share of the pie here, forget the well digger when they drink water."
Zhang Chao and Ah Huang complained in the cabin, feeling that those guys were not authentic.
Qin Lang didn't take it seriously, that's how people are. They wished that Qin Lang would leave earlier, so that they could grab more benefits on the island.
Now that Qin Lang is here, the fact that the Qin family dominates the island must be enviable.
The mighty navy's three major fleets slowly left the harbor with white sails.
Following the navy left, there were also the Fuzhou Xiangyong sent by Dugu Yanyun, the Xiangyong from Zhangzhou led by Jia Runfu, and the troops brought by Qin Huan, the Governor of Liuqiu Prefecture.
Since one island has been converted into three states, Qin Huan, the governor of Liuqiu Prefecture in the north of Baodao, is the only one remaining in the territory. Of course, there is no reason to stay in the south.
Lao Jia did not come here in vain, Qin Lang sent a memorial to the imperial court, requesting that Penghu County be transferred to Zhangzhou. Dugu Yanyun and Qin Huan also returned with full rewards.
The fleet first sailed to Penghu, and then arrived in Chaozhou. After a short rest, they went south along the coast and went straight to Lingnan.
Qin Lang was still at sea, but he had already dispatched a speedboat to Guangzhou first. With his series of terrifying titles, he issued orders to the Han officials and native chieftains in the three routes of Lingnan. Within half a month, they all rushed to Guangzhou to meet them.
If someone fails to show up on time, they will be punished severely!
Go up to the governor of Shifeng Jizhou, who was appointed by the imperial court, and go down to the elder Zhengxidong in the village head, Qin Lang asked them to come to Guangzhou to meet him.
Not only that, each person has to bring the household registration, tax payment and other documents for review, and he will also personally assess his political performance.
Yi Qi rode a stage horse out of Guangzhou City and ran in all directions.
